Women hope for success in legislative races

The women listed what they called Republican failures over the
past eight years and contrasted them with a Democratic agenda that
focuses on "giving New Je's working families the opportunity for a
better quality of life through better schools, better health care,
better government and a cleaner environment," according to a
statement. Huber is running with Morristown Councilman Richard
Tighe for the two Assembly seats against incumbents Michael Patrick
Carroll and Richard Merkt. "Over the past eight years, Republican
have failed us time and time again,' said Huber who is running in
the 25th District which includes Boonton, Boonton Township,
Denville, Dover, Harding, Mendham Township, Mine Hill, Mount
Arlington, Randolph Township and Roxbury. "New Jersey is ready to
get back on the right track with new leadership and new ideas on
how to pay for good public education, cleanup state government and
protect our open space and water. Now is the time to put people
first and make government work for us," Huber said.

The candidate said all issues are women's issues. However, she
said her priorities are not just women's priorities, but issues
that matter to all New Jerseyans.

"I am committed to fighting for the issues that matter to men
and women alike,' ' she said. "When we talk about protecting open
space, we are talking about the real effects of sprawl like traffic
jams, water shortages, and over crowded schools."

Huber said reforming auto insurance rate, maintaining and
enforcing existing gun control laws and upholding a woman's right
to choose are some important issues.
